Pattinson Auction opens up partnership offers

Emoov's new owner, auction firm for property listings left over by the collapse of the hybrid property portal, Emoov, Pattinson Auctions, is opening up partnership opportunities to more agents.

Newcastle-based Pattinson Auctions has 27 branches and works in partnership with agents across the UK. 

Most recently, the auction firm paid an undisclosed sum to take over Emoov’s listings. Now it has its eyes set on acquiring more agents in Scotland.

It has teamed up with Gilson Gray Property Services, the property arm of law firm Gilson Gray.

Gilson Gray will mount a drive to showcase the attractions of an auction through seminars, information packs and meetings across Scotland.

Managing director Matthew Gray says: “Auctions should be seen as an increasingly attractive option for agents, especially for those with properties to sell outwith the main cities who will not generally have the volume of viewings or interested parties. The option to sell for free will appeal to many owners, particularly at a time of political uncertainty.

“Securing a sale through auction could be vital for an agent, especially if a property has been on the market for a considerable period of time," He continues.
